/scaffold-exercises — Problem Set Scaffolder

Generate a graded problem set as two files: a clean student set (problems only) and a solution key (worked solutions + a one-line explainer per problem). Pattern imported from mattpocock/skills, adapted for economics teaching — the primary lens is graded coursework that mixes derivation, estimation, and code.

Input: $ARGUMENTS — a topic (e.g., "instrumental variables", "consumer theory", "quantile regression") and optional flags. See Flags.

When to use

• You have a lecture or reading and want a matching assignment with an answer key.
• You want a mix of problem types (derive, estimate, code) at a controlled difficulty, with solutions emitted separately so the student file stays clean.

Do not use this to grade submissions, auto-check answers, or build a timed exam — it scaffolds practice/graded material, not assessment infrastructure.
